Jesus CHRIST smash brothers. Who didn't predict at least over two million.

I'm surprised the 360 outsold the PS3, although it was by a narrow margin.

2.7mil in 21/22 days?! Cripes...

Damn you Wii Play. Why must you taint the list every month. Odd how GH3 for Wii is still selling very well but let's blame the casual people :p

Army of Two was a little surprising to be that high. But where are the DS games? Are we in America buying DS's by the buckets but not buying much if any games? 698,000 DS's should translate into some kind of top 10 selling DS game in a month but it must be a severely fragmented market of what sell's for the DS, without a clear front runner seller recently.

my God that's a lot of Smash Bros.
